Counting Down to our Official Launch

In April, the Board of Trustees gave its official approval for the University of Florida to move ahead with the Empowering UF initiative. While a tremendous amount of work is already underway, the project team is counting down to our official launch in July, when we’ll welcome representatives from Deloitte and Workday and begin to lay the foundation for the next three years.

Representatives from UFIT, UFHR and the CFO Division who have already committed to this work have gradually begun to move into the project’s headquarters located in the Ayers Building in UF’s Innovation District. This co-location of representatives from throughout our business units will provide enhanced collaboration and focus with ample space for meetings, testing activities and more.

 

What’s included in this initiative?

UF has selected Workday to replace the vast majority of business processes found in UF’s current enterprise resource planning, or ERP, solution. However, some functions will remain in current systems that will be integrated with Workday or are being evaluated or replaced. The systems outlined below are considered in-scope for this initiative. In addition, UF will “re-implement” the UF Budget Tool to further leverage Workday Adaptive as it integrates with the rest of the Workday platform.
